- Make ready 3-4 tbsp olive oil
- Make ready 1-2 glasses red wine
- Prepare 1 gentle cube of butter (for the oven plate)
- Take For Lasagna:
- Make ready Béchamel (enough to slightly cover every layer): this is optional and you can get your favorite recipe from cookpad ;)
- Get Dry lasagna pasta (deCecco, Opera or other brand recommended by an italian or found in italian food store - preferably that does not need previous cooking)
Method For the sauce, heat a heavy-based saucepan or casserole over a medium-high heat. In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Heat some oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and fry onions till soft.
Steps to make Lasagna:
- For Bolognese:
- Grind onion, carrot and garlic, small but not to a paste
- Put oil in big frying pan (enough to cover the whole surface), medium fire
- Pour the ground vegetables and cook until carrot is tender (~5min)
- Add meat, let it cook a bit and then add the red wine (just enough to cover the meat, 1 glass should be enough but depends on your frying pan size)
- When red wine has been absorbed, add the stock cubes (or salt and pepper) and mix well
- Add the passata di pomodoro, the concentrate tomato paste and the laurel leave. Cover the pan and let it cook in low fire until done (at least 1h)
- The Lasagna magic:
- Heat oven at 170C (~340F)
- Rub butter all around the surface of your deep oven plate
- Put a layer of dry lasagne pasta, one of bolognese, a bit of béchamel, a bit of the mozzarela di buffala and enough grated parmigiano to slightly cover the layer. Repeat until the oven plate is full (usually 3-4 layers). The top layer has pasta, then just béchamel and parmigiano on the top
- Put in oven and let cook the time and heat the pasta instructions say (usually 170C/340F, 30 min, both up & down)
- Change to gratin mode for the last 5 minutes for an extra touch
- If you can resist, leave it rest a bit after heating… Lasagna is better the more time the pasta has to absorb the bolognese ;)
Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Heat some oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and fry onions till soft. Add mince and cook till browned. Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, stock, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. This classic lasagna is made with an easy meat sauce as the base.
